Mit Museum Of Love reiht das geschmackssichere Label DFA einen weiteren Release in den Reigen für 2014 ein. Am 10.10. erscheint das gleichnamige Debütalbum des Duos, bestehend aus Pat Mahoney, seines Zeichens Gründungsmitglied von LCD Soundsystem und Dennis McNanny aka Jee Day. Zusammen bilden sie Museum Of Love, eine direkte Anspielung auf Daniel Johnstons Song, verrät Mahoney: *I had always loved the song, and had been thinking of what such an edifice would contain when we were trying to name the project*, und McNanny weiter *Pat is a sculptor, I am a painter, we make music and museums are sacred spaces and love is an elusive thing.* Die Produktion, Instrumentierung und das Songwriting lag im Aufgabenbereich von McNanny, während sich Mahoney um den Gesang und um die Drums kümmerte. Ein detailreiches Disco-House Album, das sich perfekt in das Sound-Regal von DFA einreiht. DIe Vinyl-LP erscheint im Klappcover, Download-Code inklusive.
Museum of Love is the musical project of Pat Mahoney (Founding member of LCD Soundsystem) and Dennis McNany (Jee Day).
Longtime friends in New York, McNany and Mahoney found a similar sensibility and a shared vocabulary for interpreting surroundings, something that began with their remix of Battles’ “My Machines feat. Gary Numan” and extended into their creation of a full length record together.
Naming their duo in ode to Daniel Johnston’s song of the same name, Mahoney divulges, “I had always loved the song, and had been thinking of what such an edifice would contain when we were trying to name the project.” McNany continues, “Pat’s a sculptor, I’m a painter, we make music and museums are sacred spaces and love is an elusive thing.”
Museum of Love is the result of a songwriting collaboration between McNany and Mahoney, with McNany writing
most of the music, and Mahoney most of the words. Together they edited and arranged the tracks in the studio. Mahoney says the process of collaboration was energizing, while McNany simply explains, “making the record was pure pleasure. Waiting for it to come out has been the hardest thing.”[info from label]
